Love your blog. Has me so excited for our trip. We are stopping over in Disneyland on the way over to Hawaii (from east coast). I need to leave July 9th for Hawaii. I have a bad hip and was thinking of flying first class. $800 seems really high. Would you recommend Hawaiian hands down or would another carrier with a nice first class be doable? Doesn’t seem as though Hawaiian’s new plane is getting great reviews on first class for the price….I could either fly LAX or Long Beach. THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!
Hi Melissa.
Complicated question. First class and which airline is very subjective. Hawaiian does have lie-flat from LA on their A330. While we haven’t flown on the A321 in first, as we said, it looked very nice, and nicer than we were expecting considering it is not lie-flat. We wouldn’t hesitate to fly first on any carrier.
Hawaiian has “bid up” to 1st, wherein you can bid starting in high $200’s for upgrade. But whether or not you’ll get it is based on availability and other people’s bids.
Lastly, as for $800, you’re flying in July, which is high season, so price seems relatively fair.
Aloha.
Why is Sacramento overlooked. the flight are always full and never at a discount. Alaska flies to Maui Hawaiian to Oahu. Rates are always over $500 and most time $600+
This is good news! Do you think they will fly from Long Beach to Lihue at some point in the future? Thanks!
Hi Debbie.
That will probably depend on popularity of new HNL route. We’d say it is likely.
Aloha.
Great–thanks!
I hope Hawaiian Airlines starts flying out of Ontario Airport again. It was convenient when I flew out of there, parking is better than LAX and Long Beach, and the terminals are nice. The flights I took seemed full, so they should consider going back there.
Did Bob Hope (Burbank) go off every airline airport destination? The flights out of Burbank were so convenient and then nothing. Burbank just like Long Beach would like flights to Hawaii and I bet the would always be full and profitable. Most amenities have been taken away . Please Hawaiian Airlines give us a look.
YES! I second the request for flights out of Burbank. Wow, would my life change if SOMEONE flew nonstop to Hawaii from BUR.
The problem is one of runway length. While longer than John Wayne’s, which was used for Hawaii-bound flights in the past, at 6,886 feet its just short enough to potentially impose some weight restrictions. After dealing with runway and weight restrictions at John Wayne and other second tier metropolitan airports on various routes, the airlines just seem unwilling to give it another try. Its my hope that the 737-MAX and A432-NEO will be able to reverse this trend. Like you, I’d like to see more Hawaii service from airports other than LAX.
Orange County Airport is nowhere near 6886′. More like 5700. https://www.airnav.com/airport/KSNA
If you’ll please reread my post, yo’ll see that I was referring to Long Beach’s runway length.
” While longer than John Wayne’s, which was used for Hawaii-bound flights in the past, at 6,886 feet its just short enough to potentially impose some weight restrictions…”
The “its” refers to the runway at Long Beach.
Very respectfully, if you’ll reread my post you’ll see that I was referring to Long Beach’s runway length. For some reason, my prior post on this is still awaiting moderation 3 days later.
